| Breaking the Ice |
|
I spent a month aboard this old Canadian icebreaker in the Beaufort Sea filming for my website www.icebreakerstories.com. Arctic scientists and Canadian Coast Guard crew from Newfoundland, Canada, roam the Beaufort Sea studying the ice and the water aboard Canada's largest and oldest icebreaker, the Louis S. St.-Laurent.
Here are the dispatches from the ship that I wrote for Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. |

| A number of times I visited my friend Margarita Moz in the slums of a coastal town in El Salvador to make this video about the library she founded and maintains for the kids who have very little. |

| Hudson River Canoe Trip |
|
| This one-hour video stemmed from Peter Lourie's historic 1990 journey down the Hudson. In 1995 Syracuse University Press published River of Mountains: A Canoe Journey Down the Hudson, the journal of Lourie's three-week trip down the entire 315-mile length of the Hudson River from the river's source in the Adirondack Mountains to the sea. The book combines his personal experiences with descriptions of the landscape and natural features. In the book, on the upper Hudson Lourie vividly describes exciting whitewater rides—some wild, some slow. On the lower river he captures the joys of crowded paddling. Throughout the book, he provides a historical recounting of the development of civilization along the river. The many people he meets along the way, including loggers, fishermen, guides, and barge pilots, add to the richness of his tale. Before Lourie's trip, there is no record of anyone having made the journey in the same vessel. |
